Chapter 261 – #2-13 Closing / Assault Operation, Its Conclusion (2)
How did the 7th division specify the location of Apple and its hideout?
How did he know the existence of the [Warp] Ability and thoroughly capture it without missing it?
Apple has absolutely no idea why or how.
With the ability to handle all electronic devices, Apple is always wary of mechanical devices such as transmitters and buggers, and when returning to this hideout, use 【Warp】 as much as possible to move to avoid being caught behind.
All of her surveillance cameras her are also under her control her, and she and all the people she comes into contact with have their minds controlled and manipulated, so there is no way that her existence her will be known to people or her data.
The response to Yeji was also perfect.
It was perfect
But.
But.
But.
In spite of doing so thoroughly, it ended up like this.
Even though I thought I had thoroughly strengthened my defense and prepared my strength not to yield to heroes, this situation.
The 7th Division found out whereabouts of Apple and attacked at an unexpected timing.
The humans controlled by Apple, the subordinates considered elite soldiers, were helpless by the few members of the 7th Division.
Where the hell did I go wrong?
How the hell did it go wrong?
That is, even Apple’s smart brain can’t figure it out….
* * *
“Oh My God… I’m surprised, Mr. Coco. How long have you been here?”
“…….”
Apple asked, but no answer from Coco.
Just two eyes under the hat, piercing Apple.
Apple was wary of Coco and shed a cold sweat.
She feels the sweat dripping down her cheek and down her chin.
My heart is beating wildly at unexpected situations and embarrassing things.
–Calm down.
――Let’s calm down.
Composure must be restored.
Accidents are limited when you are in a hurry.
Even her technique of taking over people’s minds (人心掌握術), which is also called ‘brainwashing’, is extremely ineffective if she does not become calm and cool.
Always at ease
Always elegant
If you were going to be embarrassed by this much, you wouldn’t have done the bold thing of putting a fight between the villains of this country and all of the Hero Association.
‘… I’m glad though The worst case would have been Coco-san attacking from behind without me noticing.’
With Coco’s ability her, it would be possible to hide and approach her and end her life her without Apple noticing.
But the reason I didn’t do that is probably because I was wary of spades.
With their monstrous perception and sixth sense, Spades and Checks would have immediately noticed and counterattacked the moment the hidden Coco approached.
Fortunately, Coco seems to have given up on her ambush, perhaps because she was wary of it.
And she appeared like this.
‘Because I put a suggestion on Mr. Coco.’
‘As long as you say a keyword, I can make it with my own words right away.’
‘Even if it happens, Coco-san can’t defeat Spade-san head-on.’
A hero specialized in assassination and spying, she cannot defeat Spade, a pure combat type.
Even if it’s not that, Coco is already in the hands of her Apple her, so she can make her own limbs at any time-
Poof!
Thump…
Standing in front of Apple, Coco said nothing and tossed his head in his hand at Apple.
Apple was forced to turn his attention to it rolling at his feet.
And at that fleeting moment when her gaze had turned away, she turned her eyes toward Coco again, regretting it.
Coco was no longer there.
No, it’s not that she didn’t remain.
Perhaps it became “Invisible”…
“Spade! Where is it?!”
Apple moved closer to the spade behind her back and asked where Coco was.
With a click, a pistol for self-defense was raised in that hand.
It’s a crude item to deal with the superhuman group of heroes, but if handled well, it has enough killing power.
It was Apple who fixed the gun, hiding behind a spade so that it could be intercepted at any time,
Spade’s words made me lose my gun.
“…… It’s getting farther away.”
“Are you moving away?”
“Yes…. All right, down….”
It was Spade, who clenched his fist as if to prepare with Apple, but now he is relaxed and just looks down.
“Are you going to come back?”
“I don’t think so. It keeps going down…”
‘You’re going down? Are you trying to get out of the building?’
‘Have you installed explosives somewhere… ?’
Coco’s unexpected behavior caused Apple to frown at Coco’s intentions of her.
Thinking of the various possibilities and choosing your next option,
Spade, who had been concentrating and detecting the surrounding movement, reported to Apple again.
“Someone is coming….”
“Yes…?”
“It’s not Coco… Even the people of the 7th division… Man… This….”
At Spade’s muttering blankly with a slightly surprised look, Apple vaguely noticed who it was.
There is no one else, and the new intruder is said to be coming here alone.
The opponent didn’t seem to want to blow up the building or call for other reinforcements.
Apple waited patiently for the approaching intruder to arrive here, carefully guarding against any continencies.
… Buck… Thump…
Thump… Thump…
Thud thud thud thud
The distant footsteps are coming closer and closer.
“…….”
Clap
Apple raised the lowered gun again and faced the front.
In front of such an apple, a spade stood as if to protect her.
And after a while, not long after.
The new intruder that the two of them were wary of appeared from the other side of the aisle as if to replace Coco.
“Huh… Heo-eok… Uh, here… Cool, heo… Heo-eok… There was… Coke, Coke!”
What appeared from the other side of the aisle led by heavy footsteps.
It was Villain No. 13, a pitiful looking villain who sweated profusely and even shook his legs like a newborn deer.
* * *
“Ah, ah! I’m dying! Fuck you, you’ll just come up on the elevator! I went up the stairs and sat down while saying ‘what if’.”
Number 13, who put her hands on his knees and desperately took a breath, grumbled with wild rage.
Even in the midst of his complaints of her, he still huffs and his shoulders go up and down.
It was a pitiful figure that did not suit the current situation, which is approaching the final stage, but Apple did not let go of its guard and still aimed its gun at No. 13.
I explained to Spade in a low voice, and told him to subdue No. 13 at any time with Apple’s signal.
If No. 13 did anything suspicious, at that moment the spade would come at him with all his might and break his limbs.
“…… Why is Number 13 here?”
“To finish.”
Still panting, no. 13 answered Apple without delay.
Apple put a little more pressure on the finger on the trigger.
“Did you intentionally send Coco back because you were afraid that she would be taken away from me?”
“Right. For the same reason, Rahena, I didn’t even bring the other 7th Division heroes here.”
I only asked the heroes of the 7th division to draw the enemy’s attention appropriately and reduce the number of people to protect Apple.
That’s why I only expected to run away from the slums or draw the enemy’s attention in a siege.
However, looking at the cards, the few heroes of the 7th Division are overriding the opponent to the point of crushing them.
Really started, no. 13 sprinted to this place to get there before Apple, realizing that the war situation was not good, ran away, and ended up catching their breath pathetically now.
“… You are wise.”
“It’s okay if I compliment you a little more.”
“By the way, how did you know where I was? I paid close attention to things like tailing and transmitters….”
“That was Coco’s effort on her.”
Number 13 smiled and said.
A previous encounter with Apple.
At that time, no. 13 did not visit alone, but Coco, who had disappeared, was with him, said No. 13.
“Because I knew that your men were nearby. While I’m with you, It’s just a sneaky change.”
A very simple trick once you know it.
Coco, disguised as one of his subordinates, followed them all the way to this hideout, and only sent a call to the 7th division at a peek.
And, as instructed by Rahe and No. 13, risk factors that could help Apple escape, and people of interest such as [Warp] Skills were taken advantage of the opportunity to take care of them.
It was a risky operation that, in the event of an emergency, could buy Apple’s vigilance and put Coco and No. 13 in danger at the same time.
Because Arya’s ability her allowed her to review success, she was able to execute it boldly.
“I was wary of Coco-san’s abilities….”
I muttered in amazement at Apple.
Originally, Coco’s ability is useful, but there is a problem that it does not last long.
So Apple took that into consideration and was setting the risk of Coco low.
However, recently, two people whose abilities have been dramatically strengthened, Apple knows.
Spades and clubs.
For the two of them, things like the efficiency of their abilities rose at once after contact with No. 13.
Perhaps Coco received the same help.
‘… Obviously, if it was usual, I would have been more vigilant.’
‘It’s enough, something I can notice.’
It must be because I was too excited about the 13th issue.
In addition, [Lesserrat], [Villain Alliance], And [Hero Association] Were induced and adjusted in the direction she wanted, so there were too many things for Apple to handle alone.
As a result, even this crude operation was allowed.
Apple was deeply disappointed by that fact, and simply let out a deep sigh of anguish without retracting its gun.
